MOEED %J International Journal of Engineering Science and Technology %D 2013 %I Engg Journals Publication %X This paper represents the optimization of various parameters of resistance spot welding. The experimental studies have been conducted under varying pressure, welding current, pressure, and welding time. In this investigation the quality characteristic (tensile strength) has been considered using Taguchi Method. The experimental studies have been carried out varying welding currents, weld and hold times for joining two sheets. %K resistance spot welding %K taguchi method %K orthogonal array %K tensile strength %K anova %U http://www.ijest.info/docs/IJEST13-05-02-030.pdf
